Bald Eagle photographed by Kelley Murphy at Sunset Bay July 18, 2017

I just posted two photographs by Kelley Murphy of the Bald Eagle that's been seen at the lake lately — on my Amateur Birder's Journal, where they will reside till something else comes along in a few days. She took them from the pier at Sunset Bay, around noon July 18, 2017.

Sooooo frustrating, I keep missing this eagle. I was at Sunset Bay this morning from 9:10 am to 10:15am. Then, around noon this morning, when this eagle was at Sunset Bay, I was at the spillway looking for it at the same place Ben saw it. The only time I've managed to photograph an eagle in the wild was in September 2014 at Sunset Bay, it was quite far out on the lake. I have a better reach with my set up now and looking forward to my next time to see one.
On the plus side, I found my first male neon skimmer this morning.
